with answers |\
Monocultures - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔producing or growing a |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
single crop, plant, or livestock, species, variety, or breed in a
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
field or farming system at a time EX: corn, wheat, rice
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Polycultures - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Growing more than one |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
crop in the same place simultaneously
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\
What has modern plant breeding done to diversity? - CORRECT
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
ANSWERS ✔✔It has reduced diversity |\ |\ |\ |\
Diversity can arise through what? - CORRECT ANSWERS
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
✔✔Homogenization and standardization through hybridization, |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
asexual reproduction, and cloning |\ |\ |\
Fitness - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔the proportional contribution of
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
an individual to future generations
|\ |\ |\ |\
What is natural selection? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔differential
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
success of individuals within the population that results from
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
their interaction with the environment
|\ |\ |\ |\
What is artificial selection? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔modification
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
of a species by human intervention so that certain desirable
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
, traits are represented in future generations EX: different dog
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
breeds derive from artificial selection
|\ |\ |\ |\
What are some of the downsides to artificial selection? -
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔lack of diversity of species- a certain |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
species can go extinct due to lack of diversity EX: Irish potato
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
famine- potatoes went extinct because there was only one
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
species of potato EX: Cavendish banana-disease is killing them
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
off because they are not diversified
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\
What are white-feathered turkeys bred for? What about red-
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
bourbon turkeys? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔high production;
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
retain their ability for natural self survival and flight
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Selective Breeding VS Genetic Engineering - CORRECT ANSWERS
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
✔✔Selective Breeding: takes years to decades; sexually |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
compatible lineages (related species) |\ |\ |\
Genetic Engineering: takes days to weeks; unrelated species
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
used
What is one example of genetic engineering? - CORRECT
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
ANSWERS ✔✔Spider Goat example: Nexia Biotech genetically |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
engineered spider genes into goats. The milk of the kids (baby |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
goats) carry extra proteins which can be spun into spider silk,
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
one of the strongest substances known to man, and can be used
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
to make biosteel
|\ |\
Genetically Modification - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔taking a gene |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
from a cell of one species and inserting it into another
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
